Calling All Green Thumbs!
Local families and businesses across the community will be growing a little extra this summer in an effort to support our neigbours facing food insecurity. We'd love if you got in on the fun!

G.A.P. Pillars of Service

Gravenhurst Against Poverty focuses on three pillars of service:

Food Program

Working in tandem with our G.A.P. Garden Program and the utilization of generous donations from a growing number of local farmers & organizations, G.A.P. is proud to ​offer a twice-weekly Food Program to support ​those in need from our community. 

Wellness

Working with organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association and YWCA, G.A.P. offered a Building Compassion Virtual Speaker Series to the community. G.A.P. is also focused on creating a community hub and a dedicated Young Adult Centre (YAC).

Transportation

G.A.P. is proud to set up no-cost taxi rides for essential in-town trips needed by our neighbours for medical appointments, groceries, work, food bank, and laundry.

Providing Food to Those Who Need It Most!

Due largely in part to COVID-19 and the global pandemic, G.A.P. has evolved the Supper Program into a Food Program that is delivered to members within the community every Thursday! Additionally, a weekly Meal Pick-Up program has runs every Tuesday between 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
